I don’t know if it’s just me, but I find a certain humor in the recommendations of books and doctors that say you shouldn’t take your new baby out in public for the first 6 weeks. (Might be a number slightly different than 6, but that’s the one I’ve heard most often.) What I want to know is why then, is it ok for you to bring your new baby to the pediatrician’s office, where many sick children gather and fill the air with their germs, yet it’s NOT ok for you to bring your child anywhere else? Seems like a doctor’s office would be the LAST place you’d want to bring your new baby…. I’m all for house calls by the pediatrician… anyone else?
